I can’t believe I haven’t come across this until now.. I actually live on the Kirkland side a few houses down and don’t get me wrong, was very upset and complained about it when it went up. I just felt I should mention that from what I heard, a main problem was teenagers (from both sides) who would get drunk and toss bottles at the houses directly adjacent to the path. In my opinion, they could still do that, but it does limit their relative seclusion and obscurity and so is more or less successful (And no, I am not some middle-aged man complaining about the rowdy youngsters.). That said, I used to use that path a lot for busses and stuff and am not pleased to be limited in which hours I can and cannot take the shortcut walk home. I just wish there was another way. On a side note, they also did that to a small walking path between houses on the other side of the road towards the bike path for the same reasons, except that one is permanent. That pissed me off too.
